Anybody from Mississippi?

The coast isn't quite as hot as the interior, much of the time, due to the influence of the Gulf. It's still pretty tough.

My youngest son is down there now, working a new job setting up computers for businesses.

Hogdancer, I'm sending you a PM.

Featherbuster, Don , Yes lets get together for a hog hunt ! They don't call me hogdancer because my wife is fat ! ... well Gene Wensel does !

I've been a MS resident all my life, but I'm no help as far as archery shops on the Gulf--never been there. I'm Northeast myself, not far from Tupelo.

Pods are still around, but danged if I know where to get one. Never used them myself.

LBR,
Where is your "SPONSOR CLASSIFIED"?

You still make strings?

I'm here in Tupelo..

I am about as far from Gulfport as you can get and still be in Mississippi. I live in Olive Branch. The fishing for redfish and trout is good along the coast and out on Cat and Horn Island. I think there is a ferry service to the island for day trips. By the way I just joined this site. Lots of good info and help here. I think a hog hunt would be great. I know where some are on some public land near Oxford.

I'm under "Chek-Mate Bows". Never advertised the string making side of the business--never get caught up with those anyhow.

I am in Gulfport now for military training until 18 Dec 08. Would love to find a place to hunt or shoot the new bow I'm expecting.

I'm from Union Ms.

Hogdancer, didn't you and I used to shoot a few 3-D's together down in South Mississippi and Lousiana? If I remember correctly, didn't you make me some great compressed cedar shafts back in the early 90's?

joebuck · August 19, 2008, 09:48:00 AM

Yeah Hogdancer? I didn't know you were a foam puncher!

hogdancer · August 19, 2008, 10:48:00 AM

No was'nt me, never made a compressed cedar and never have been much of a target shooter but your name does sound familiar.
Take care

Hogdancer, Mark is an old pro around here..he use to mop up the floor with me in early 90's at the local trad.shoots....been known to show up time or two at a PBS banquet..he has been the backbone of MissBowhunters for ever..You need to join MBA Hogdancer!

Stringwacker · August 25, 2008, 06:36:00 AM

Joebuck,

I remember there was a lot of mopping up going on in the early 90's....but I believe it was a situation that was entirely reversed from your recollection:-)

As far as the MBA, I would encourage anyone (especially PBS members) to be part of the state organization. It's the trenches of the bowhunting battles. The 'powers that be' have more than once said that this state is headed toward a single season format where everyone picks their weapon of choice to participare in. Anyone can join at www.mississippibowhunters.com

Looking forward to seeing both of you guys at the PBS banquet in Nashville.

joebuck · August 25, 2008, 10:22:00 AM

A Single Season Format.uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh....Dang Mark , I'm upgrading to Life this week. Hey if you show up in Nashville and Hogdancer and I both show up too, could we have 100% of PBS Reg Members there in attendance? We should get an award!

hogdancer · August 25, 2008, 10:30:00 AM

Glad I was able to set an example for Joebuck and get him to upgarade to life memebership

I will be in Nashville , bringing my kids this time !

Stringwacker · August 25, 2008, 11:48:00 AM

Thanks to both of you guys....Nashville here we come!

No kidding on archery issues concerning a single season format. I've been told that directly by legislative leaders and the MDWFP. It's a real issue that is just under the public surface. I heard the same issues were at play in North Carolina.

Why else do you think there has been so much change in the Mississippi primitive weapon season? The conditioning of the hunting public to accept change has started.

hogdancer · August 25, 2008, 12:09:00 PM

wow, that is scarry !
